Hi,

I recently got a used Ryan string trimmer from a friend of mine. It had a lot of problems and din't run at all. After a lot of cleaning and replacing a few parts I finally got it running and it worked fine but I only had a small piece of cutting string left on the spool so I bought a new spool of line. When I attempted to replace the line the recoil spring fell out. I have no literature on this trimmer and I've tried for days to figure out how the spring attaches. I figure the inside spring end fastens onto the plastic gear on the rope pulley but I don't know where the outer end fastens or how tight I actually have to rewind the spring. Can someone help me please ? Thanks
